—We consider the problem of inferring link loss rates using passive measurements. Prior inference approaches are mainly built on the time correlation nature of packet losses. How...
Abstract. We develop a Bayesian approach to concept learning for crowdsourcing applications. A probabilistic belief over possible concept definitions is maintained and updated acc...

Sequence segmentation is a flexible and highly accurate mechanism for modeling several applications. Inference on segmentation models involves dynamic programming computations tha...
Although queueing models have long been used to model the performance of computer systems, they are out of favor with practitioners, because they have a reputation for requiring u...
We propose a novel method for approximate inference in Bayesian networks (BNs). The idea is to sample data from a BN, learn a latent tree model (LTM) from the data offline, and wh...
